I have been using different CMS's for many years. I was a little set in my ways until I realized how good Drupal really was. Bitnami gave me a great avenue to test Drupal and offer test instances to the group I manage. We can all go nutz and develop our own creative thoughts and not mess up the live install. You can have a full Drupal install up in less than 3 min. Love it, Love it. Thank you bitnami!

Simply amazing...

Drupal has been my platform of choice for an CMS - the developer-friendly, highly customizable robust platform should be your choice if you know your way around code and prefer something more hackable then Wordpress.

Using Drupal via bitnami takes the pain out of installing, configuring and managing the setup. With once-click ease I have an secure and up-to-date, ready-to-go installation.
